We have a soft spot in our heart for Rachel Dratch.
She goes to our gym, and we feel an affinity for anyone who hauls their cookies onto the treadmill beside us instead of eating cupcake icing out of the jar while watching Facts of Life reruns (which is what we’d like to be doing instead of jogging). We always want to strike up a conversation with Rach, but sweaty treadmill talks are never that intellectually stimulating. Also we kind of like to be left alone at the gym, and we know The Golden Rule, so we’ve never asked Rachel what she’s up to these days.
The paparazzi, on the other hand, are pretty sure that The Golden Rule doesn’t apply to them. The paps saw Rachel out and about recently, and took the opportunity to ask her about any possible return to SNL.
Rachel says, “Once you leave, you can never come back," in a hushed M. Night Shymalan voice, as though Lorne Michaels nurses young comedians to maturity and lovingly sends them out into the world, but subjects them to a level 8 ass-whooping if they try to return to the pack.
One of the paparazzi responds: “What about Tina Fey?” Rachel breaks into a near hysterical giggle fit, presumably at the comparison between her career and Tina’s crazy psychedelic superstardom. Or maybe the ladies have some Biggie/2-Pac type beef. Either way, it actually gets a little uncomfortable for us.

We love you Dratch. We’re bringing brownies next time we go to the gym. Nothing soothes nervous laughter and career anxiety like fresh baked chocolaty goodness . . . on a treadmill.
